Sort question

[Mike Bonner]

Changing the first suggestion

set the itemDel to slash
sort lines of myList by item 2 of (word 2 of each) and item 1 of (word 2 of
each)

to

set the itemDel to slash
sort lines of myList by item 2 of (word 2 of each) *&&* item 1 of (word 2 of
each)

works for this also as long as the data is always 2 digit format. Barring
that, just doing 2 consecutive numeric sorts on the appropriate key will
work.
Can you use the && version and specify sort type individually for each
part?
IE: sort blah blah by item 1 && item 2, 1 numeric, the other alphabetic?
